We should be aiming for Pope if at all possible once that happens. Hell I said it last summer...

It was an obligation transfer based on a set condition, which was promotion. Toby's loan signing was with an option. As soon as promotion was confirmed the automatic obligation was activated, which lead to us paying man city £20m and getting him to sign the contract he'd have agreed at the initial loan last summer. The loan signing announcement at the start of the season confirmed all the details. Not sure the club need to tell us anything, it's all out there to see already.

ChrisPY Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Arsenal priorities in loaning out Ramsdale - 1: Club who won’t be competing for position even based on a worst case Arsenal and best case other team season 2: Team that like to play it out from the goalkeeper so if player returns to club, they have gained relevant experience 3: Due to loan rules meaning Ramsdale will not be able to play against parent club, the second choice goalkeeper giving the best opportunity of gaining maximum points 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking to the Daily Echo about the win and his future, he said: "I can't describe it. I can't put it into words. "Just to know that I am going to be back next season, the deal was already signed, I can't believe it. I am so happy."'

We had an obligation to buy on promotion with a set fee. With Alderweield we have an option to buy with a set fee but Athletico paid us out of that agreement as they knew they could double their money and they did, with bigger clubs sniffing around.

Badger Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Normally at this time of year we look at the Championship to see who we might plunder. This year the players Iinked to an EPL move that I’d like to see us go for would be Clarke (Sunderland) and Greaves ( Hull CB). The danger this year though is that signing Championship players, we might remain a Championship level team. So some PL experience would be useful (and from players who’ve cut it there before, not some of our own who haven’t) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarke was on fire in the first half of the season, but then Sunderland tanked and that was that. He'd be worth a shot at £15m, very classy player when they done us 5-0 at their place. Tore us apart. Another couple of picks I like, Sara of Norwich and Rodon who was at Leeds - a real classy CB.

Yes to all 3 personally - we have been loosely linked with Rodon: https://the72.co.uk/2024/05/31/leeds-united-joe-rodon-southampton-target/ who was excellent for Leeds all season. Would be an excellent addition at CB giving us 4 good options there. For £15 million odd I hope that's one that happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
